the only real narrative that matters is the consensus you and your neighborhood reach. all politics are local first
Luigi Day Parade on December 4th float/balloon ideas:
- Handsome Sweater Guy Balloon
- Burning Warehouse float
- Face and name wall of billionaires with addresses
- Netanyahu killing Charlie Kirk
- Killdozer
It is the time of the wooden shoes.
Amazonβs burning approach to unsold and returned products
While it's fun to believe this is some kind of underground protest by the workers, it is far more likely that the Amazon policy of incinerating unsold goods to sidestep the cost of returns has created enormous fire hazards within their warehouses. This, combined with a chronic short-staffing of facilities, poor maintenance of infrastructure, and excess volume of returned goods due to the increasingly shoddy nature of their 3rd party vendors, puts all the pieces in place for routine self-inflicted arson.
Why not both?
Outside the Toiletry Fire Bandit, I haven't seen any evidence of the former. But as someone who has worked in a warehouse, I've seen ample opportunities for the latter.
Or, the fun approach! These new policies give incendiary devices to those who may want to do more than burn returned product.
I once worked in a real piece of shit warehouse for a real piece of shit company who treated their workers like complete shit, and I regret not setting it on fire. (Briggs and Stratton)
How exciting!
Aurora Borealis? At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within a warehouse?
